The Atlantic Shores Offshore wind team is excited to share some breaking news with you! On June 30th, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities issued an order awarding Atlantic Shores a 20-year OREC (Offshore Renewable Energy Certificate) for our 1,510 MW offshore wind project, which is the largest single project award in the state and second largest awarded offshore wind project in the U.S., enough to power over 700,000 homes. In addition to affordable, renewable energy, our project includes millions of dollars in key investments for New Jersey workers, top academic institutions, environmental and community organizations, as well as the creation of a turbine nacelle assembly facility and the launch of an innovative 10 MW green hydrogen pilot. With these commitments, New Jersey is well on its way to being a national leader in green energy and innovation.
